James Metzger on ‘Green Traverse V6/f7A’ at Stanage a few weeks ago, he stuck that move a few times but doing it in sequence is the real struggle. Even after it’s still quite easy to drop, seen a few people celebrate a bit too early on the final holds. We managed to jump over to The Roaches today with the great weather. It was as rammed as if it...

Tanning is a tourist thing. From living in California to being an expat in the tropics, freckles and tan lines inevitably surface from just existing in the sun’s warmth day after day. Employing an array of sunscreens to slow down bronzing is just part of a coastal dweller’s daily beauty routine.

There is a the water-resistant pasty mud mask for surfing at noon; the medium-weight, sweat-proof lotion for a hot bike ride or hike; and the light, invisible moisturizer sunscreen for those unavoidable rays. Think of it like a surfboard quiver, different boards for different waves.

The former sun blockers are sticky slipper lotions that I always want to scrub off as soon as I can reach a shower and some shade. But I didn’t feel that way about Ursa Major’s Force Field Daily Defense Lotion.

It smells more like a pleasant lotion versus a typical drugstore sunscreen. The creamy and thick consistency rubs in clear, but felt substantial enough to be protective. It’s free of anything on my beauty blacklist (nanoparticles, petrochemicals, sulfates, parabens, and synthetic fragrances), so it didn’t cause breakouts or any irritation after wearing and reapplying for several hours, for days in a row.

It’s a perfect fit for the lightweight, everyday sunscreen category, but I haven’t test it all day in purse, harsh, direct sunlight. If that were on the agenda, I’d bump up to the heavier stuff. And keep in mind that most sunblocks—even the SPF 50+ water-resistant zinc war paint—can only hold on for a maximum of two hours, and less if you’re sweating or in the water.

But for most days, add this onto the end of your cleansing, toning, and moisturizing routine and you’ll forget that this invisible sun shield is on—until you realize that you aren’t turning red.
